[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7963166, member: 7015827"] Rahnee led the others over, although she had trouble finding the back room for a minute. Mutual introductions were made between Helm’s Shadows and the Scarlet Company, which consisted of its leader, a warrior named Juril; Ayllan, a sorcerer; Firewine, who wore cleric’s robes; Elebril, a ranger; and a halfling rogue called Slipster. Juril explained that his company had taken the Mercenaries Guild contract and had promised Ian to keep a look out for his son; however, they had not previously traveled south of Reddansyr and could use experienced counsel. ([I]On some occasions, listening too closely to adventurers' tales can spell trouble, or simply be a waste of time, if one is not interested in gathering stories for tavern talk.
